Description Claes Buurgaard-Jepsen 2001-11-23 08:29:43 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)

Description of problem:
Installing RH 7.2 on older AMD-K6 200MHz system, 2 HD (LBA mode) >1Gb 
WesternDigital and Quantum. Using automatic sizing of partitions leaves 
450Mb free, then editing the actual swap space to 256Mb (from 96Mb used of 
196Mb allocated) reports failure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from InstallCD
2. Choose default, except 3 button serial mouse & custom installation type.
3. Ignore the warning: "The partition table on /tmp/hdb is inconsistent. 
There are many reasons why this might be the case. Often, the reason is 
that Linux detected the BIOS geometry incorrectly. However, this does not 
appear to be the case here. It is safe to ignore, but ignoring may cause 
(fixable) problems with some boot loaders, adn may cause problems with FAT 
file systems. Using LBA recommended."
4. Choose "remove all partitions on this system" and ignore warning tha 
ALL data will be removed.
5. Mark and edit the swapspace partition.
6. Raise Size from 96 to 256 Mb, which automatically raises the "Fill all 
space up to (MB)" to 256 Mb as well. Click OK

Actual Results:  New window: "An unhandled exception has occured. This is 
most likely a bug..."
Traceback info given: see Additional information

Expected Results:  Swap space partition changed to 256 Mb and carry on the 
installer.

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2001-11-29 16:04:02 UTC
Try booting with 'linux ide=nodma'.  Does that help?

Comment 2 Claes Buurgaard-Jepsen 2001-11-29 19:23:14 UTC
Booting with "linux ide=nodma" does NOT help. 
I assume this command is given at the initial "boot:" prompt when installing 
(booting on the CD).
Now, after I successfully installed RedHat 7.1 the warning about inconsistent 
partition table (step 3 above) is gone, and is no longer important.

Worth mentioning is that I can create manually the layout I try to get when 
changing the automatic layout:

/dev/hda:
/boot 50Mb
swap 256 Mb
free 390 Mb

/dev/hdb:
/ 810 Mb
no free

Automatic layout:
/dev/hda:
/boot 50Mb
swap 96 Mb (though it fills up 192 Mb. Editing this to 256Mb for both gives the 
error)
free 454 Mb

/dev/hdb:
/ 810 Mb
no free


Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-12-08 17:41:14 UTC
Hmm...weird.  So the problem seems to have gone away after installing 7.1?  Does
upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 work now?

Comment 4 Claes Buurgaard-Jepsen 2001-12-09 20:07:24 UTC
Well, the bug I'm trying to report is NOT that I cannot install 7.2 AT ALL.
The only problem is when choosing the automatic sizing of HD-partitions I 
cannot resize the swap beyond the "default" 96 Mb even though there's plenty of 
HD space.
The warning: "The partition table on /tmp/hdb is inconsistent. 
There are many reasons why this might be the case. Often, the reason is 
that Linux detected the BIOS geometry incorrectly. However, this does not 
appear to be the case here. It is safe to ignore, but ignoring may cause 
(fixable) problems with some boot loaders, adn may cause problems with FAT 
file systems. Using LBA recommended." given in step 3 in my initial description 
of this bug DID disappear after I successfully installed 7.1 so PLEASE IGNORE 
THAT STEP 3! (I guess initially the partition table was screwed up by some 
Microsoft OS and what-not.)
The bug's still there though... ;-)
But please tell me to shut up if this is of no interest, as I can install the 
7.2 by partitioning the HDs manually.

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2001-12-12 20:38:45 UTC
Could you try with the update disk at
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/7.2-updates.img?  Place this image on a disk,
boot with your original boot disk and type 'linux updates' at the boot prompt
and then insert the new disk when asked.

I am having the same problems. 

I am trying to install either Red Hat 9 or Fedora Core 1 (both
terminate with code 93)

I have tried several hard drives and CD drives, on seperate IDE buses
and also with only one CD drive and a HDD on a single bus. I am pretty
sure the problem is something to do with the Motherboard/BIOS as that
is the only thing that I cannot (and have not) replaced.

I am using:

K7S5A Socket A Mainboard
1.2Ghz Athelon Processor
Original BIOS (1983 or something)
Onboard sound, etc

192MB DDRAM
Matrox 4MB Graphics card (blew up my GeForce, see my luck?!)
40GB Maxtor HDD (Dedicated to Linux)

I have a dual boot setup, but am not trying with that right now and it
seems not to be the problem (same error no matter what i try) I'm
getting that same "The partition table on /tmp/hda is inconsistent"
message, install problems are as follows:

1. Warning message appears after I select my mouse
   (just before formatting with redhat9)
2. Setup continues as normal
3. Formats drive, still no problems reported
4. Copies install image to HDD, gets to 100%
5. Boom. Anaconda terminates and dumps code 93 (nothing else)
6. Kernel shuts down without error

If anybody has any ideas could you post it here or email me at
